A. It's quite common for babies, especially at two months old, to be fussy or cry when put down after being held, even if they're not feeling well. Your baby might be seeking comfort from you, and when you put him down, he feels the need for your closeness again, which is normal behavior at this age. Since your baby has caught a cough, it might be making him feel more uncomfortable or restless, as even a mild cough can irritate a baby. To help him feel more comfortable, you can try keeping him elevated slightly while sleeping (without propping up his body with pillows directly under him), as this can help ease congestion. You can also use a humidifier in the room to help with the cough and keep the air moist. If the crying persists when being put down, you might also try gentle rocking, swaddling, or offering a pacifier for comfort. It’s important to check with your pediatrician if the cough doesn't improve in a few days or if you're concerned about other symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, fever, or lack of feeding.
